Taipei Puyuan Temple (台北普願宮) - Spectral Codex

A Tudigong (土地公) temple in the historic Dadaocheng (大稻埕) district, beside the Guisui Opera Park (歸綏戲曲公園). Though small, it is elaborately decorated and frequently the site of ritual processions and ceremonies. The temple maintains several traditional customs that many others have pared back, asking visitors to offer eight sticks of incense across its several censers. Its generous footprint is said to have come from gradually expanding into the surrounding Opera Park (戲曲公園).
